Dear Shar,
WH is truly wonderful. Cellar demons are locked up. However, I have resumed therapy. Given the hells others here are battling, I'm loathe to even mention the problem. :::Gulp:::: Things are going very well in my life and I don't know how to handle it. So, of course, I began self-sabotaging. When I realized what I was doing, I promptly resumed therapy. In many ways, therapy is harder this time. While in the depths of depression, therapy represented an oasis and truly was a life-saver. Now, my therapist is pounding at life-long defenses and I'm wailing, "What do you mean I have to look at my life?"
I've also decided to quit smoking so started Zoloft as a buffer . . . (and losing weight, exercising....)
How is your world? How is your WP?

Only here would we openly admit that we are in therapy because things are going so well! lol!
However, that is such great news!
I'm squeaking by, dodging the cellar demons as well as possible, WP is more up and energetic. It's a good thing we already knew we were depressives before we got together....sort of funny in a way. Our best times await, I think, since unemployment and poverty add an element to daily living that makes it hard to be relaxed even if other things are going ok.
Good to hear from you!
xoxo

hahahah, I hope you'll be with us a while, Cam, you've been sorely missed. Maybe you need a proofreader or pc (political correctness) reader....

Hopefully, the day will come soon when these hard times turn into one of those engaging "how we survived the hard times" stories that become the stuff of family lore.

Wow, you found a silver lining without sounding like Pollyanna! You've become a role model for me in yet another way!

I'm glad things are going well for some of us. I'm fine, just dealing with a son who is developing a full-blown anxiety disorder (pre-teen) and feeling incredibly guilty for my lousy genes. Hope you all have a great day.
take care, judy

Yeah, but...
those genes happen to come packaged in a great mom who is sensitive to what is going on with her son--perhaps sensitive and aware and ready to deal with it immediately and appropriately especially because she herself has those genes and the experiences she has had herself because of those genes. And he has the added advantage of early detection and access to better treatment early in the game before the "kindling effect" can take hold.

Noa,
I did take him to a therapist yesterday, I think it helped my son to talk to someone and not feel like he had to hide his feelings from those who love him (he's a very sensitive child and hates to disappoint- even though I explained that I would love him no matter what he says). So maybe after a couple of sessions I'll ask the therapist about ways I can help. I'm just going day by day. Thank you so much for your thoughts.
take care, judy
